    Rotate them and keep them guessing. I use green and amber most of the time but do find no filter better for ID purposes when sweeping a field. I usually have green on a 240 roof lamp and amber on a 170 scope mounted lamp. I have just been out with my lab and collie for a walk taking a 170 lamp, I knew there was a fox in this field but could not locate it untill I got an eye reflection at maybe 200 yards, a rifle goes with me tomorrow night. Red, target ID 100/120 yards, green /amber 200 yards with a 170 and further with a 240. No lens then with the 240 400 yards. A

    From my current stable then 6mmPPC USA. I have shot everything with this tiny little cartridge from Roebuck's to magpies, just so versatile. A

    As I am new here then I am not aware of peoples history here but no doubt their views on a given subject have been aired on other boards. I have recently had a discusion elsewhere on the merits of 20s against a guys 22.250AI, maybe Mr L is the same guy. In fairness he did give 204 a fair crack but could not get them to shoot, it happens with all calibers, I could not get my 22.250 top go below .8 moa usually although I only tried a couple of powders. Early load development work this week with my 20BR gave groups in the mid .3s & .4s with ALL loads between 28 and 31 grains going

    Here is what I regard as the best proramme around on external ballistics. get your ballistic co efficient from your bullet manufacturers web site and away you go, http://www.biggameinfo.com/index.aspx?page=%2fbalcalc.ascx A

    Why?. 22.250 is very noisy without a mod, recoil unless you have a very heavy set up usually prevents seeing bullet impact and that extra powder use reduces barrel life. Been there, got the tee shirt, sold the rifle. 223 will kill at 300 yards in ideal conditions, you wont be going much further than that normally. If you are going to reload then a 20 (204 Ruger) makes a bit more sense, shoots a bit flatter and hits a bit harder than 223. A
